The Loving Couple of -One True-Pairing- is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Hettie with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.988 billion -One True-Pairing-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Healing Coven. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient -One True-Pairing-ian economy, worth 540 trillion snails a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,449 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Some magnifier-wielding -One True-Pairing-ians say Hettie seems a little lacking in something, citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, and psychological disorders are a taboo subject. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. -One True-Pairing-'s national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

-One True-Pairing- is ranked 27,762nd in the world and 2nd in Odrya for Most Patriotic, with 40.17 flags saluted per person per day.
